Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Vb 1/48
This is the 2014 kit from Airfix. Not a bad kit but with some fit issues.

Desert Warriors: Four 1/48 Eduard Spitfire Vs
Eduard combo packages were my favorite modelling experience, namely an excellent kit, diversity of schemes and low price.

Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk1
“A walk down Memory Lane…”
There was a time when kids used to go out and play in the neighborhood (after having finished their homework, of course), coming back home by sunset, having beforehand meticulously cleaned all their small [...]
